Exegesis
The concluding imperfect yid’akh {יִדְעָֽךְ | yiḏ-‛āḵ} ‘will be extinguished’ contrasts destinies through Hebrew parallelism, with each noun-verb sequence mirroring the other. The conjunction ve- ‘and’ introduces the antithetical second clause. English translation preserves the construct order and employs “snuffed out” and “extinguished” to reflect the Hebrew verbal imagery.
Root and etymology

In context — Proverbs 13:9
